• The classic butterfly knot: a large buckle tied at the back of the back, symmetrical and generous. Secure value for a wedding.

• The folder wrapper: a sober belt that surrounds the top of the cover, ideal for a sleek and contemporary style.
• The flat knot belt way: a fine ribbon tied flat, discreet and graphic, perfect for minimalist decoration.
• Double ribbon: two superimposed colors (one wide, one thin) to play the contrasts and recall your palette.
• The flower tied: a rosette formed in the centre of the file, which brings volume and a bohemian note.
• The Decent Node: placed on the side of the back rather than in the middle, a modern variant very photogenic.
